Ok well i took some suggestions from my last topic but im still not 100% on it so I just got a few more questions.

Is everything completely compatable?
Am I getting the best bang for the buck? Can I get something better for the same price or a little bit more.. Can I get something with the same performance for cheaper? Is my cooling good enough?

PS. Ive never built pc before

Sorry if i seem very annoying and keep asking this its just im spending alot of money which takes me along time to save condisering im 15 and working partime making minium wage.

IMO, u should wait till july 22 when the prices of the intel's cpu goes down, and u might be able to get a quad core for the price that ur spending right now. this build is not bad, but i recomend one of these mobos as they perform good and overclock well.

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.3) LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

or

Newegg.com - MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

for the psu, thats a good psu, but i would go for any of the corsair ones.

ya, definately go with the gskill hz memory dude, they overclock very well.

anyways, these are only my opinions, you do what u think would be best
good luck with your build

oh ****... i linked it to newegg..... u live in canada right... sorry
 
ya i live in canada. I can never find the stuff on tigerdirect that ppl list on newegg. I dont think tigerdirect carrys G.Skill stuff and i cant find those mobos on tigerdirect :(

oh and ya i was thinking of waiting till July 22nd but thats far away... is the performance a real big difference from the duo to the quad?The 8800gts might go down in price also by then
 
I have the case and it's nice heh. I would get the DS3 over that motherboard but it should be nice too. The OCZ ram if it's a good deal should work nicely. Overall it's a good build :p
